Catching up on what I’ve missed. I loved the pic of Elijah looking at the pie crust knowing he was going to get to eat some for breakfast today!Been crazy around here doing all the cooking again for Thanksgiving and extra church work. All caught up…for a few minutes!What amazing words of Scripture! Know that I’m praying!Psalms 139:17-18 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.My email address

Life can seem so overwhelming at times. God can seem so very far away. He’s always there, especially when the times are the hardest! Praying!Psalms 13:1-6 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? … Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, … But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.My email address
